Hello Kitty Card

After being in the kitchen all weekend, I snuck away for a bit of crafting.  My niece has a birthday in September and every year DH and I always scramble for a gift and card - but not this year!  I saw a challenge to make something with a licensed cartridge for the Cricut and I was inspired. The top photo is the birthday card I created.

 
I only used the cart. Hello Kitty font.  The Kitty was cut at 4.25 inches.  The papers are all old remnants I have in my scrap stash.  The white gossamer ribbon is from Target found last year in the wrapping supplies after Christmas.  The sparkly blue gems are i-rock hot rocks adhered with the i-rock tool - love it!  And the greatest part is the the i-rock tool and stones were a prize I won from Imaginisce.  Very cool tool!  The second photograph is of the envelope (green) and the inside of the card.  I had some Hello Kitty ribbon that I just couldn't resist using (I can't remember where I purchased the ribbon).
